3:04 am
be watching. this is going to make a huge difference. the temperature here. probably reading closer to 35, 36 degrees. we are told in the next few hours or so it's going to drop below freezing. that means we could see more wintry mix, more sleet. i have to tell you, it's a far cry. it's colder out here. it's tough. >> we used to work at w cbs in palm beach. 40 was the top story. never that cold. >> the two of you are having that moment remembering the palm trees and sun. good luck with that. >> enjoy it is as much as you can. thank you so much. the big ice storm from roanoke. >> lets bring in someone else, as my mother would call it, with thin blad. jennifer gray from minimum to

3:06 am
places like new york city and boston. if you're looking at the snow totals, we are going to see a possibility of up to 5 inches in the west. as you head over on the east coast, d.c., new york, not going to see anything more than about an inch or two of snow and possibly half an inch accumulation of ice, guys. >> all right. the snow beats the ice. meteorologist jennifer gray. thank you. >> thank you. i don't know if you heard about this. there's been a tragedy aboard a delta air lines flight. a 16-year-old on the flight and suffered a medical emergency of some sort. the plane made an emergency landing in spokane, but the teenager died. we know the teenager was traveling with his mother and they were joining his father, who was a soldier, for christmas. the medical examiner said it appears he died of natural causes but an autopsy will be done tomorrow.

3:10 am
house in soweto, across this nation. you have these extraordinary themes of people coming together. really the last time i can think of something like this, this magnitude, the sense of occasion, the sense of importance was when we all voted in those first democratic elections in 1994, voted in nelson mandela. this is a national event that i think people will be moved for. people want to be here. they are bringing their children to be part of the celebration of his life. >> what a memory they are all making taking for those kids. thank you so much for letting us know what's going on there. >> national and international moment for people around the world who will be traveling to south africa. there is a sheriff in south carolina. he's refusing to lower the american flag to honor nelson mandela. >> president obama ordered the flags be lowered to half-staff until sunset tomorrow. pickens county sheriff rick clark says he doesn't think it's
3:11 am
right. >> to show a sign of respect for what nelson mandela has done, i have no problem with them lowering it in south africa, in their country. in our country, it should be the people who sacrifice for our country. >> it is rare for the president to order flags at half-staff. george bush did it for pope john paul in 2005. bill clinton did it for former prime minister. it goes back to when president johnson lowered the flags for winston church hill. coming up last night, florida state didn't just beat duke, it crushed them. check out the quarterback there heurdling over defense, touchdown, victory. highlights, upsets for all of saturday's big games. >> detained in north korea for more than a month, now an american war veteran returns home to the u.s. as a free man.

3:59 am
>> the people coming here, buying these thousands of tickets, are they coming to church or are they coming to a concert? >> well, a lot of them probably think they are coming to a concert. we like to think of it as church. >> the band grew out of a australian mega chum founded by houston's parents 30 years ago. hill song claims to have 57,000 followiers with outposts all over the world including the first one in the united states in the middle of manhattan where mega churches haven't found a footing before. >> why did you want to bring hill song to new york? >> our church fits here. we're kind of like a group of vagabonds out of our depth. new york has a lot of people like that, working hard, dreaming big and hoping for the best. >> he says he doesn't preach any one religion, he just wants people to find a relationship with jesus. it's okay by him if people are drawn in because they are fans of the band or they are hoping to see one of his celebrity friends. he rejeb the idea that his

4:02 am
over. are they deepg toward -- dipping toward that freezing mark? >> reporter: what we're seeing in roanoke, this is the downtown historic area. we're seeing off again on again sleet. we just talked with virginia department of transportation. they are saying north of us, there's slight icing. they say some of the bridge in the area, temperatures a little bit too warm meaning bridges aren't icing over, which is a good thing. that's the big concern. they are expecting a thick coat of ice in this area. what that means, there's a potential for power outages if it gathers on power lines, trees, things like that. they have taken precautionary measures pretreating some of the major roadways. as i mentioned a little bit earlier, watching this closely here, the thermometer. right now it dipped down, closer to 35 in the area. still a little bit warm. victor, i can tell you it feels cold out here and people are
4:03 am
definitely concerned about the potential for this ice. a lot of people staying home today, which is a good thing to do. >> good idea. >> interesting, i was looking at your local report, some of the local reports there, saying ice was a concern. then it was interesting. they said don't put a lot of stuff in your refrigerator because the power will go out. can't you just put it outside at that point? >> you can. >> tory, does it feel like it's getting colder or no? >> it does feel like it's getting colder. we drove up to a mountain in between our live shots. it's a little bit colder up there and they are starting to see a little icing on the mountain that over looks the city of roanoke. it seems like temperatures are dropping. we have to wait and see if we're going to get that wintry mix and sleet and freezing rain. things we're expecting to see throughout the day. >> rocky road on the back porch. it will be all right.
4:04 am
cnn, live in roanoke, virginia this morning. lets bring in meteorologist jennifer gray to expand our conversation about the weather. >> she knows how bad it's going to get. >> here is roanoke. freezing precipitation is to the south. that's continuing to make its way to the northeast. i think you'll get a wintry mix, rain, freezing rain as well. a little bit of snow up to the north. the surrounding areas definitely. then as you look to washington, d.c., it's going to take a couple more hours as we head into a little later this afternoon and into this evening, that's when d.c. is expected to see the brunt of it. this is 10:00 p.m. for tonight. freezing rain, freezing precipitation around the d.c. area. then as we make our way into the northeast overnight tonight into monday morning, expect more of the same. we could see anywhere from a quarter of an inch to half an inch accumulation of ice and possible snow mixed in as well. then by tuesday, look, more rain for the southeast.
4:05 am
unfortunately. what we're dealing with for snow accumulation, up to five inches. that's mainly areas out west. we'll see possible one to two inches of snow, d.c. and new york. also the ice is going to be a problem. anywhere from half an inch in southern sections and make your way to the northeast possible quarter inch. that's where you see the big problems, power outages, things like that, guys. >> all righty. meteorologist jennifer gray. thank you so much for the heads up, jennifer. >> this morning korean war veteran detained in north korea for more than a month is waking up at home in his own bed. 85-year-old merrill newman returned home yesterday. he was pulled off a plane, detained in october just as his tour group was getting ready to fly back home. >> it's been a great home com g coming. i'm tired but ready to be with my family. thank you all for the support.
4:06 am
>> newman also called for the release of another man, this man, kenneth bay. the american has been in north korean custody since last year. we're learning more about the american delegation who will be going to south africa. president obama and three former presidents will be at nelson mandela's memorial service in south africa on tuesday. >> all across the country right now, millions of people are in churches and mosques and temples and synagogues to on are nelson mandela. in the biggest catholic church today, joining us now from johannesburg, david, we're wondering what are you seeing today when it comes to memorializing nelson mandela? >> well, christi, throughout this country it's been a day for people to flock to their places of worship and remember this
4:07 am
great man here in south africa. a man who did so many for so many individual people. he did so much. in this church behind me, so steeped in history here in south africa, it's a catholic church which was very linked to the struggle against apartheid, even children who fought against authorities in the '70s fled to this church. there's still bullet holes in the windows remembering what happened here. mostly people are remembering the legacy of nelson mandela, singing praises for him, singing both christian songs and songs of the anti-apartheid struggle. i've been really struck what a deep resonance he has with every member of the public i've spoken to, old and young, white and black. it's really a universal love for this man in south africa. >> david, we've seen so many informal and formal displays, celebration, mourning. we know there are more to come over the next few days. can you tell us how who is
4:08 am
expected to attend the memorial event? also the state funeral. >> well, so many people coming from outside. hundreds, perhaps even thousands of dignitaries, celebrities and just well wishers flying into south africa. of course millions of south africans will join them in the official and unofficial event. president obama, michelle obama as well as a whole host of leaders from america and others will come. obviously there's such a deep tie between the u.s. and south africa when it came to the anti-apartheid struggle. many americans feel deeply connected to this country and what this country went through. all those free mandela campaigns through the '80s and in the late '70s, many americans of a certain age will remember that time very fondly and the impact they had in helping this man go free. now we are memorializing his death and his life and certainly
4:09 am
south africans appear to be welcoming those people coming in from elsewhere with open arms. the sheer numbers will mean a big logistical challenge for the country. >> can i imagine. david, thank you so much. we appreciate it. here is a twist in the u.s. a sheriff in south carolina is refusing to lower the american flag to honor nelson mandela. president obama ordered flags to half-staff until sunset tomorrow. pickens county sheriff says he doesn't think it's right. >> to show a sign of respect for what nelson mandela has done, i have no problem with lowering it in south africa, in their country. but for our country, it should be the people, in my opinion, who have sacrificed for our country. >> now it is rare for a u.s. president to order flags lowered for a non-u.s. citizen but it has happened. george w. bush did it for pope john paul ii. that was in 2005 when he died. bill clinton did it for former israel prime minister rabin. the practice goes back to 1965

fall in love with progressive's claims service. want to tell you about the search for new hampshire teen. officials report a letter from hernandez to her mother appears to be the real thing from her. >> hernandez vanished on the way home from school in october. police fear someone might be holding her against her will. >> fbi special agent karen ramsey in charge of this case and joining us by phone. thank you so much, agent ramsey for being with us. let me ask you something, it's reported she's believed to be held against her will. what makes you certain of that? >> honestly, we're not certain
4:14 am
of it but it is a great fear of ours. the fact remains in this investigation there are caters that could be consistent with abduction. then we get this letter, which we have verified and validated to the best of our ability with the information we have now that it did come from abigail. sadly that letter has not produced viable leads where she is now and who she might be with. who she might be with, this is a 15-year-old girl with no independent financial means and who has been able to essentially evade law enforcement detection for all this time. >> is there -- i know authorities want people to look out for her. you posted the missing person flyer and the pictures. is there any indication of where the letter was mailed, a post mark, specifically where people should be looking? >> we do know where the letter was postmarked. we do have a general sense of
4:15 am
that. we haven't released that simply because we do have fears of getting copy cat letters after this. we haven't released the post mark. we haven't released the actual letter itself because we're afraid other people might very chillingly and sadly copy cat a letter like this and mail them to her mom or authorities or what have you. we're hoping the letter stands on its own, but we know exactly what that letter was. should we get at one, we can easily validate and verify it's the same, in fact. >> let me ask you a question. are you in fear this may be a situation similar to what we saw in cleveland with ariel castro? >> that's our greatest fear. the fact remains, again, this is a 15-year-old girl. we had indications early on this could have been an abduction. we see this letter, which threw us for a loop in the investigation. we have had no contact since. it's a 15-year-old girl. we know even if she ran away
4:16 am
willingly, she certainly could be victimized afterwards. the national center for missing and exploited children has a statistic one in eight endangered runaways could become victims of forced sexual exploitation. have you that statistic. the fact remains she could have been abducted, held, manipulated by somebody with ill intent. >> we know that the victims in cleveland, even the victims in london, all of the missing persons who have been released or found in the last year or so, many of them watch television, had access to media. if this young girl, if abigail is watching, what's your advice to her? >> our advice has been consistent. if she's able to hear this message she has to remain strong. if she's able to contact law enforcement, she needs to do so immediately. if she's not able to contact law enforcement, she needs to know that law enforcement has not given up in this case
4:17 am
whatsoever. we continue to be very aggressive in everything we do. in fact, after our last press conference we got some dozen leads fairly quickly. every one was acted on almost immediately. we dispatched local, state, fbi investigators across new hampshire and massachusetts in the hope that, again, we could find her. >> well, fbi special agent we're so appreciative of the work you're doing in this case and others. thank you so much for giving us an update on what's happening there. still to come on "new day" the tumultuous relationship between winnie and nelson mandela. we'll tell you why so many people don't know much about winnie mandela and her fight against apartheid. ya know, with new fedex one rate you can fill that box and pay one flat rate. how naughty was he? oh boy...

a clip there from the movie "winnie mandela." she's had her story told in several films and books. many people don't fully understand the complicated relationship between her and her former husband nelson mandela, nor do we get the role she played in south africa's fight against apartheid, that she played, remember. cnn producer joins me now. i know that you just spoke with winnie recently. >> in johannesburg saturday a week ago. in fact, we were at mandela house, which is the first house mandela owned and the house he returned to after he spent 27 years in prison. so i was with winnie. when lou at the story, christi,

4:23 am
fight. one of the things i think people cannot understand, they are very curious about, why were they married the whole time he was imprisoned. when he released, he divorced her. >> well, their political opinions were very different. mandela emerges conciliatory. she had a much more militant view. she said some very inflammatory things and involved in controversial activity. in long walk to freedom, he said she just had bad judgment but it was mainly different political views. she considered herself more radical. he wanting to be more embracing. he spoke about we are human through the humanity of others. she would have liked -- she lived through the stugel so much more than he did. he was in prison at the time. he always said my family suffered more than i did. >> recognize that. >> exactly. i spoke to their daughter together. the reason she likes the new
